Joris, PX, CE Schreiner, and A. Rees. Neural Processing of Amplitude-Modulated Sounds.
Physiol Rev 84: 541–577, 2004; 10.1152/physrev. 00029.2003.—Amplitude modulation …

The inferior colliculus (IC) is a major processing center situated mid-way along both the
ascending and descending auditory pathways of the brain stem. Although it is fundamentally …

To identify sounds as novel, there must be some neural representation of commonly
occurring sounds. Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) is a reduction in neural response to a …

The specific adaptation of neuronal responses to a repeated stimulus (Stimulus-specific
adaptation, SSA), which does not fully generalize to other stimuli, provides a mechanism for …

Sequencing of the rat genome has allowed a better understanding of the rat physiology and
biology, in turn promising to translate into a better understanding of human biology and …

Novel stimuli in all sensory modalities are highly effective in attracting and focusing
attention. Stimulus‐specific adaptation (SSA) and brain activity evoked by novel stimuli have …

The processing of biologically important sounds depends on the analysis of their frequency
content by the cochlea and the CNS. GABAergic inhibition in the inferior colliculus shapes …

The inferior colliculus (IC) processes auditory information ascending from the brainstem. The
response of the IC to this information and its ability to transform it is partly determined by the …

It is known that the dorsal cochlear nucleus and medial geniculate body in the auditory
system receive significant inputs from somatosensory and visual–motor sources, but the …

Audible frequencies of sound are encoded in a continuous manner along the length of the
cochlea, and frequency is transmitted to the brain as a representation of place on the basilar …
